Men's Issues Counselling in SE18

Welcome, my name is Michele. I'm a registered counsellor and psychotherapist - I help individuals and couples with their emotional health. I have private sector experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. My focus involves abuse, depression and narcissistic personality disorder, and the specific problems encountered by men, transgender people and women. An initial assessment meeting allows you to see if you feel comfortable with me, discuss what concerns you, ask questions, clarify confidentiality, and determine if therapy could assist you.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, major life changes - or generally losing your sense of self? We all experience pain in many ways; it's what connects us to being human. Though sometimes a helping hand is needed from a certified professional, to help cope and manage with many of life’s challenges that may get thrown our way. I am here to be that listening ear, to focus on unconditionally accepting you as a whole being as you deserve, with no judgement or bias. I believe we all have an inner sense of truth and wisdom within, but with a little space and stillness, we can gain our own insight.

Matthew is a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP). He is also Intensively Trained and experienced in providing Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and, an Ordinary Member of the Society for DBT (MSfDBT). Matthew is currently training in Schema Therapy and seeking online clients to work with. He is able to offer a reduced fee to clients who may benefit from Schema Therapy (this includes clients with long standing challenges, that have a developmental history/causes, and that may have not been greatly helped by other ways of working)

I can help with difficulties related to one's identity, relationships, and performance. Common experiences may be a sense of feeling stuck or you may have noticed that you repeat the same dysfunctional behavioural patterns. Major life changes may also exacerbate emotional experiences all of which can contribute to disruptions in your everyday experiences.

I am trained in both couple’s therapy and individual therapy and also offer Supervision. As an Integrative Counsellor, I am here to walk beside you on your journey. My approach is empathetic and compassionate; however I will challenge my clients to help them achieve their goals. I have worked within the NHS and now within a university conducting short term solution focused therapy. I have created a successful private practice and I want the sessions to focus on my clients needs. I will provide the platform for you to discuss what you need to discuss and the safety of a confidential, caring and warm space.

I am a fully trained psychotherapist (MBACP Reg. & MNCPS Acc.) and supervisor with 20+ years experience. When life feels a little out of balance, it's important that we find our own answers to the things that concern us about our lives. It's also important that we find a way to do this that suits our preferences, our needs and our styles. It's vital that we find a place where we can consider those questions about our lives and the situations we find ourselves in with patience, compassion and care. Finding a counsellor or psychotherapist to be with us can bring enormous benefit during difficult times.

Are you facing challenges in your life which seem impossible to overcome? Maybe you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, feelings of low self-esteem, despair, guilt or shame? Has a bereavement or traumatic incident left you feeling that it’s hard to cope? Do you have a need to be properly heard, perhaps for the first time? We can explore ways in which you can begin to think differently about the obstacles you face, examining your thoughts and feelings with a view to increasing self-awareness and ultimately gaining greater control over your life.

I am a long-established and well-regarded counsellor, psychotherapist, and supervisor. Since 2001, I have offered professional private psychotherapy from my exclusive suite of welcoming rooms in Eltham. I have broad experience with most issues. However, bereavement, loss, and change are my particular specialties. I have led a team of therapists and counsellors for the last 16 years delivering bereavement support across Greenwich for an NHS commissioned charity. I have good working relationships with all manner of mental health professionals. I have a lot of experience working with the struggles of being human!
